“I am happy that Erik ten Hag wants to sign him at Manchester United and it makeds me happy knowing that I might play with him at Old Trafford afte the EUROS. Everybody loves him because he plays like Cristiano Ronaldo. He never gets tired The good thing is that Erik Ten Hag coach him before at Ajax when he was still very young”-Bruno Fernandes praises his “electric” Portugal teammates who the team refers to as the “NEXT RONALDO” due to his style of play.
Bruno Fernandes has recently expressed high praise for his fellow Portuguese national team player, Francisco Conceição, indicating that the young talent would be a valuable addition to Manchester United, a prominent club in English football.
Fernandes, who ended last season with impressive performances for Manchester United, began his preparations for the 2024 European Championship in impressive fashion, scoring twice in an exciting match against Finland on Tuesday night.
After entering the game in the second half alongside his club teammate Diogo Dalot, Fernandes made a significant impact by scoring a spectacular long-range goal, increasing Portugal’s lead to 3-0, and later adding another goal with a composed finish.
Following the match, the influential United captain took the opportunity to commend the 21-year-old right winger, Francisco Conceição, who was instrumental in assisting both of Fernandes’ goals.
“Francisco had an outstanding performance; his energetic play and tireless effort off the ball were particularly noticeable,” Fernandes told Mais Futebol. “His quick reactions to turnovers and excellent positioning are a testament to the rigorous training under his father. We need players who can bring diverse abilities to the team, enhancing our overall strength.”
Fernandes’ mention of Conceição’s father, Sérgio Conceição, is significant as he is currently the manager of FC Porto, where Francisco has had an excellent season, making 43 appearances with eight goals and eight assists.
With a market value of nearly £13 million according to Transfermarkt, Conceição is an appealing prospect for United. With potential exits of Antony and Facundo Pellistri in the upcoming transfer window, finding a skilled right winger to compete with Amad Diallo becomes crucial for the club. Conceição’s left-footed abilities complement Amad’s strengths, particularly his skill in providing assists and scoring goals, thus fitting well with players like Rasmus Højlund and Fernandes, who usually play centrally in the team’s tactical setup.
